Hydrogen Innovation Initiative Parliamentary Reception
Portcullis House, London
Date:
Wed, 25 Mar 2026 - Wed, 25 Mar 2026
Accelerating UK Hydrogen Technologies
Hydrogen Innovation Initiative (HII) is hosting a Parliamentary reception focused on showcasing how British innovation and investment can, with the right support, help to secure an early mover advantage and translate into a thriving domestic hydrogen sector.
Dr Marcus Walls-Bruck, Chief Engineer for Hydrogen at NCC and the High Value Manufacturing Catapult will be participating, sharing insights into how we're contributing towards accelerating UK hydrogen technologies.
The global hydrogen economy is set to reach $8tn by 2050, with demand for hydrogen technologies expected to increase to $1tn annually by 2050, due to the critical role that hydrogen is set to play in delivering net zero. This includes decarbonising hard-to-abate industries, such as chemical production, heavy industry and aviation.
